Tablescapes, Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Tray

 

I love having fresh flowers in and around my home

At the beach house we have beautiful hibiscus and begonias

 

 

 

 

But nothing to cut for arrangements…

When HHjr brought home an array of beautiful produce,

I thought, well, I can’t make a flower arrangement but I can make a vegetable one!

A “Vegetablescape!”

 

 

 

 

I used a large Strawberry Season serving tray as the base

and put a glass cake stand on the tray and added a smaller white bowl

 

 

 

 

Large romaine lettuce leaves were added next,

Then an artichoke, oranges and a tomato

 

 

 

 

A red pepper, limes and more oranges at the base of the cake stand

 

 

 

 

The arrangement was filled out with celery sticks,

snow peas, strawberries, Brussels sprouts

and a zucchini

 

 

 

 

Looks good enough to eat!

 

 

 

 

This arrangement obviously can’t be left out for too long,

But for longevity, you could hide ice or cold packs in your arrangement

 

 

 

 

After enjoying this for a little while,

I put most of the produce in the refrigerator

and gradually turned this kitchen island back to reality

 

 

 

 

An island buffet works so well for our family

 

 

 

 

Snacks in jars with small plastic bowls

are handy for hungry fingers to grab

 

 

 

 

With a box of fresh donuts and a bowl of fruit

 

 

 

 

The boys were pretty excited when they saw the fresh donuts,

first time in 2 months!

 

 

 

 

Plates and flatware are at the ready for fixing lunch and serving dinner

 

 

 

 

My alstromeria are still going strong after 2 weeks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, eat your veggies,

and play with them too!!!
